Title: Create Problem Sets and Assessment Questions using WolframAlpha GPT
Course: 10 GenAI Challenge Series > Section: Challenge 4: Create problem sets and assessment questions using WolframAlpha GPT

Learning Objective:

Participants will use WolframAlpha GPT to generate visual aids and develop problem sets, enhancing their skills in creating computational and data-driven assessments.

Purpose:

This challenge demonstrates the potential of AI tools to enrich teaching materials with data visualization and complex calculations. By using WolframAlpha to create graphs or diagrams and leveraging ChatGPT to develop related lesson plans or assessment questions, educators can produce dynamic, interactive resources that support deeper student understanding of challenging concepts. This activity emphasizes the integration of AI to streamline resource creation and enhance curriculum design in data-rich subjects.

Challenge:

The GPT store offers access to over 1,000 GPTs that you can use for free with a ChatGPT account. Although the free version provides a limited number of queries, there’s incredible value in leveraging these GPTs for education. One GPT particularly useful in a university context is Wolfram Alpha.

This computational engine allows you to perform complex calculations, create graphs, access live data, and generate diagrams. By combining WolframAlpha with ChatGPT's writing and creative capabilities, you can produce comprehensive lesson plans or teaching materials.

For this challenge, you’ll be using Wolfram Alpha to generate a graph or diagram in your discipline and then use ChatGPT to assist in creating a lesson plan around it.

Let's do it!

1. Ensure you have a ChatGPT account. Click this link to open the Wolfram GPT. https://lnkd.in/gpmhhfWE

2. Prompt Wolfram Alpha to generate an equation, diagram, or graph. You can access live data in some cases, but this might be limited depending on the area.

3. After generating the visual (graph, equation, or diagram), ask ChatGPT to develop a quiz question or problem set based on the data. Be sure to specify the level (e.g., beginner, intermediate), type of questions (e.g., multiple-choice, short-answer), and context (e.g., course and discipline).

4. Share the link to your chat along with an explanation of your prompts and the quality of the output in the Challenge 4 Forum.

Example:

For this challenge, I prompted Wolfram Alpha to “Create a graph and equation showing why there is a more substantial pressure increase in the first 10 meters of water when scuba diving.” I then promoted, “Based on this response, develop three multiple-choice questions to quiz students in an advanced scuba diving course on pressure changes during the first part of the descent.”
